Beanbag on the ground

A different view for these critters. I like the foggy, OOF focus look to the surroundings. Gives an impression of being near water without actually showing any.

Cool catch. My tiny wish would be for him to be a little more broadside, so the butt end would be as in focus ans the face. I like the overall soft depth of field resulting from 2.8
